Unblocking kitchen sink
"I moved into my new flat only to find that the prior owner had left me a spectacularly blocked kitchen sink. It filled up when running the tap and dishwasher, and overflowed when I ran the washing machine. Got a plumber to check u-bend, then another company to rod. Still blocked - despair! Then stumbled on Happy Drains. Damien arrived promptly, was chipper and my god was he determined to get to the bottom of the issue. He was incredibly experienced, knowledgable and methodical. It took 2 and a half hours but he got to the bottom of it. I am ecstatic! Highly recommend."
Clearing sink blockages
"Very happy with the work. No fuss, simple fixed quote, prompt and good communication. Could not have really asked for more."
Blocked main drain.
"Spoke to Jane at the reading branch at approx 10-30, told me the price before work started and Richard arrived approx 12 noon within an hour all cleared and flushed through. Richard was very professional in his work, and made sure all the hatches were battened down after he finished. Will recommend Happy Drains to everyone. The price is very resonable."
Water rising in shower
"Happy Drains were recommended by one of my letting agents. Called them, staff courteous and very helpful. Call arranged for the following day, email received confirming this along with confirmation of anticipated cost. My tenant confirmed that they arrived at the appointed time, undertook the job in a timely manner and left the area clean and tidy. All in all a pleasure to deal with, would definitely use them again and have no hesitation in recommending them. "

Common causes
- Disposing of oils and cooking fats down Finsbury drains and plug holes- the liquid fats can quickly solidify in the waste pipes and drains system and are difficult to remove.
- Scale build up in Finsbury drains caused by detergents, particularly in hard water areas
- Products like disposable nappies, sanitary towels, cotton wool buds, newspapers and cat litter being flushed down Finsbury toilets - they will eventually clog Finsbury drains stopping the flow of water.
- pouring cement and plaster based material down Finsbury drains - these will do as they are designed to do i.e. go rock-hard in the drain
- pouring waste oil from cars bikes and vans into Finsbury drains - it is illegal to do this so be aware.
- Collapsed or damaged Finsbury pipes.
Finsbury Drain locating, plotting and mapping
By using the latest drain location techniques in Finsbury we can plot your pipework utilising a radio wave emitting sonde and receivers into the pipework and above ground to plot the sonde’s course whilst its being pushed through the drain. We will supply you with a plan complete with depths and direction for a complete story.

What if drains keep blocking? Drain CCTV Surveys
This may suggest that the Finsbury pipes are faulty. Tree root penetration and subsidence are common causes of broken Finsbury pipes. We use CCTV to solve your Finsbury drainage problems - fast.
For drains both foul and surface water drains that are smaller than 150mm (6 inches) we use a push rod camera system, which is essentially a high spec specialist camera attached onto a long rod, which as the name suggests can be manually navigated by pushing through the Finsbury drains to identify issues and can take digital stills of any problems.
We specialise in Finsbury CCTV drain surveys and complete with fully detailed comprehensive written and easy to understand written report: -
- Home Buyers
- Building Sites
- Commercial Properties
- Problem Solving
- Environmental Concerns
In larger Finsbury pipework we use all motorised wheel drive crawler system to traverse a pipe. Again we drive the crawler through the Finsbury drain or sewer stopping when we find a defect taking close-up images and identifying the location using a meter counter.
We will then understand the full scope of the repairs required to offer you the best options in terms of the most cost-effective repairs.
Repairing Finsbury Greater London drains pipes and sewers
Drain repairs in Finsbury can be expensive, there are so many varying factors such as depth of the pipe and the ground finish.
As Finsbury drainage experts we employ various techniques to mitigate costs including "no dig" options also known as (CIPP) drain lining which can provide a very cost effective solution. This approach does not involve excavations and therefor faster and more cost effective.
The Cured in Place (CIP) technique known as 'inversion' is used to mould a new polyester pipe inside the old damaged pipe and is even better in terms of hydraulic efficiency than installing a new pipe. Call for further information.
During the course of any work including tradition repairs that involve excavations in Finsbury EC1V and Greater London we will take care and consideration of you and your property by working safely. We work to the highest standards and CHAS registered.
Whatever the type of repair engaged to undertake, you will be safe hands.

Unlocking of sewage drains
"Turned up when stated, gave a courtesy call to let me know they would be here within half an hour. Completed work with no fuss. Came through the house to check back drain to ensure job done, took shoes off without being asked. Quick, professional, friendly and polite. Also a HUGE positive they charge a set fee for the job regardless of time completed rather than those that charge per half hour."
Drain clearance
"I have used Happy Drains before, and again they provided an excellent service from the original phone call right up to the finished job. We were out when they arrived, and just got back after they finished, but after a mobile phone call they proceeded immediately. Everything was tidy, clean and in place on our return, so if you have a problem of this nature, I can honestly recommend Happy Drains 100%. Finally the cost of £114 was real value for money."

Kelly knew what work I would need doing with my frantic explanation and calmly and professionally advised she would contact me back with an update. 10 minutes later I was told I could have an engineer in as little as 2 hours. The engineer arrived promptly. Professional, friendly service carried out with honest and transparent future care advice. Was able to easily Apple Pay an hour later for service following my invoice. No hidden fees. Cost was as advised. Very happy."

Clogged kitchen sink pipe
"I was really glad with the service that they provided. They just sent someone the same day that I called ,and they were able to unclog the pipe within the same day. I was really happy, I wished that I would've called them sooner as I was trying for over a week to clear it myself without getting any results... and I also was really happy with the customer service and their payment method, It was really easy to pay with the link that they sent me and they charged me the amount that It was agreed by phone, without any extra fees... I definitely recommend it to everybody "
Blocked drain that runs under house.
"Had a blockage from the sink drain that runs under my house. Called at 9:05 and engineer arrived within 3 hours and got the problem sorted within 25 mins of arrival making myself and my drain happy. Had the same done 3 years ago and cost nearly double with one of the larger companies so decided to go local and worked out well on all fronts. "
Incredibly helpful
"Just moved into new home &found drains blocked. Water company said couldn't come out for 3-5 days, - too long if you can't use the loo! Left message for Gary. Even though it was Sunday, he called back really quickly and talked us through what problem might be, reassured us we'd be okay overnight, and if the water company still wasn't able to attend, he'd come out Monday to fix things. Thankfully, water company engineer very helpfully appeared at 6pm and cleared things. Gary called back early Monday to check on us, and was again so helpful. Couldn't ask for someone more helpful!"
